10/10 Excellent

"Everthing we were very lucky and got upgraded and the suite we got put in was out of this world staff could not have been any better "

The Scotsman Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The carpets in the room are looking a bit grubby. There was a young blonde waitress in the breakfast room that looked like she had just woken up, not brushed her hair and her white shirt looked like she had slept in it, it was so creased and tatty. She also has a bad work ethic standing at the toaster to keep warm and not lifting dish!!"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The location is very good, between the old town and the new town, almost in front of Waverley Station. The room was very clean, and silent. The only minor inconvenience was that the room was too hot, but we turned on the A/C and problem solved. The view from our room was great."
